Adam, The TC shifts (I have to climb under the jeep to do it) but I just leave it in 4lo all the time. Every time I put it in AWD (this jeep only has AWD and 4lo), I end up switching back to 4lo later since everywhere I drive is either sand or mud, never any roads or pavement. I think it is a 4 speed transmission, but the entire time I've had it I've never gotten past 3rd gear. The fastest I've probably ever driven it is about 20mph
As for the geo tracker, it was my first car, I worked in my grandpas office for two summers to pay it off before he passed. Hasn't run in 5 years and suddenly I was feeling pretty guilty because he would be so disappointed if he saw how it sits today. With all this newfound time I have since I got laid off from Monster Jam, I figured I could fix it up instead of letting it rust away in the side yard
John, I've got one of those. The silver Craftsman that every dad had in the early 90s... deck rusted out so I just use it to pull my sweeper or small trailer.
Going to pick up another one today though. All i know is "Murray rider, runs, needs blades sharpened, $150 OBO" Another project. Going to fix it up and leave it out at my camp in the woods to do the grass out there.
Always more projects
Sincerely,
